Activity 4 Essay

1. Enumerate and explain briefly the importance and similarities of your family and parents to
Rizal’s family and parents.
The Rizal family was regarded as one of the most respected and well-known family at
their time. The Rizal family were wealthy, which explains why Jose Rizal was able to travel and
study in other countries. His parents were descended from Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Malay,
and Negrito ancestors. Rizal’s father, Don Francisco Mercado Rizal and his mother, Doña
Teodora Alonso Y Realonda was a very religious person as well as a businesswoman. Rizal’s
character reflects how much his parents influenced him. Rizal’s family had a simple, contented
and happy life and was intimately close. His first teacher, his mother together with his uncles,
and other brother first molded him to become the person he is known today. Jose Rizal became
a man of incredible intellectual power, with amazing artistic talents as well. He excelled at
anything that he put his mind to. Through the influence of Rizal’s parents, he grew up to be
religious, prayerful, and a god-fearing person.
Jose Rizal’s family and my family have a lot in common. One of them was growing up
with kind parents who supported and provided for my basic needs on a daily basis. My mother
was also my first teacher, she taught me how to count and I was able to familiarize the alphabet
through her help. I was also taught how to act in a respectable manner. My family taught me the
importance of being mindful in making decisions. Don Francisco and Doña Teodora loved their
children, but they never spoiled them. They were strict parents and they trained their children
to love God, to behave well, to be obedient and to respect people especially the elder. When
Rizal and his siblings did something wrong, they were given a punishment. Just like Rizal’s
parent, my family also taught me values and whenever I did something wrong, my parents have
their own way of correcting me.
The role of the parents in a family very important. Their job is to encourage, assist, and
give us task like doing house chores that allow the child to practice and develop skills. The family
has the greatest influence on a child’s learning and socializing because the family is their primary
social group. Our family give us unlimited love, laughter and a feeling of belongingness. It is the
first source of love we receive in our lives. Family influences our values which are a reflection of
who we are, that’s why it is very important to have a family who teaches good values, support
your decisions and love you unconditionally. Family is the one that will bring out the best in you
even if you cannot see it for yourself.
2. Explain the important lesson that we can learn from “the story of the moth” particularly in
dealing with our parents’ advice and reminders.

The story of the moth was an inspiring and a life changing story that teaches us plenty of
moral lessons. The story was about an old moth who warned her daughter to stay away from
the flame, despite of its alluring beauty, it is fatal and deceitful for it destroyed whoever came
too close. The frightened young moth promised to obey but eventually found reasons why she
should do it. She was interested to see what would happen if she tried to get any closer. At first,
she only felt pleasantly warm which encouraged her to flew closer and closer until at last,
dazzled by flame, fell and perished in it. Her disobedience led in losing her precious life.
The moth story is more than just a tale, it also has valuable lesson that everyone should
learn. One lesson to be learned from the story of moth is to always obey people who are older
than us, particularly our parents, because they knew what’s best for us. In the story, the young
moth perished because he defied his parent and go too close to the flame, which burnt him to
death. We humans likewise act in this manner, when we are advised not to do certain thing, we
tend to disobey and end up doing it. Listening to our elders who are more experienced than us is
usually the best option. That’s why as much as possible, let’s try our best not to disobey them.
The story also shows how our eyes may deceive us. We should constantly make good decisions
and try to anticipate what will happen because regret is the last thing we want to experience.
The story of the moth has a great flow of events that teaches numerous moral life
lessons especially to the teens of the present and future generations. It will serve as a guide for
the youth to always obey the elders because the lessons they teach us are already things they
have experienced in life. I also noticed that we can learn a lesson by observing our surrounding
and relating it to our everyday life, just like Rizal staring at the moths roaming around the
candle.

3. Explain the message of the poem, “To My Fellow Children” giving importance to nationalism and
national identity.

“To My Fellow Children” is a poem written by Dr. Jose Riza at the age of eight. A poem
about the love of one’s native language written in tagalog. Where it is primarily intended to
convey the importance of youth and their potential to affect the destiny of our motherland.
Rizal wrote it to encourage the youth to be proud for who they are and use their talents to be
the best they can be. The poem directly addresses the youth and the future generations to
remind us the importance of one’s national language and how it is our responsibility to take care
of it.
The major purpose of Rizal’s poem “To My Fellow Children” is to boost the Filipino spirit
in adoring our own language, because loving and using one’s native language was one of the
characteristics of a true patriot. He wrote this poem in order to tell the importance of one’s love
and appreciation to his language, for it is a bridge connecting people to each other. The Filipino
people to acquire education regarding our own language for us to be able to achieve our goals
and improve our beloved nation. The poem provoked the youths to be more proud of our
nationality and identity, and by enriching our language we could show our sense of pride as
Filipinos. The poem strengthens the nationalistic heart of the Filipino people by conveying a
message that the youth should use their capabilities, talents and skills to raise our motherland
and be proud of who we are.
After reading and understanding the poem, “To My Fellow Children” I felt the sincerity
and the emotion of a person who wishes for a better tomorrow. The poem is indeed a work
from the heart with no pretention and an eye-opener to those who degrade our language. I am
proud that we have Dr. Jose Rizal, a good example for all the youth that we should never be
ashamed for who we are, but instead be proud of who we are as a Filipino.
